Alternative Investments
At J.P. Morgan Private Bank, we specialize in alternative investments, and we believe they can be essential building blocks in your portfolio. But navigating this universe of complex investments can be challenging, and requires in-depth understanding to gauge the risks and identify high-return potential opportunities.
The role of alternative investments in a portfolio
Diversify my portfolio
You may need to look beyond the traditional 60:40 equity/bond portfolio to help manage volatility and achieve real diversification. Adding diversifiers, such as hedge funds or real assets to your portfolio could help. Over the long term, through diverse market conditions, alternative asset classes have continued to demonstrate the ability to improve risk/return versus traditional equity/bond portfolios.1
Aims to achieve above-market returns
In an environment of modest traditional market returns, allocating to private equity or private credit may serve as an alternate source to help generate above-market returns for your portfolio.
A full spectrum of alternative investment strategies
Finding the right alternative strategy depends on your goals.
